Intern Roboticist, Applied Research (16WD20138)
Come join a small multi-disciplinary team of
designers, engineers, filmmakers, artists and
architects exploring what's important and
interesting in the future of conceptualization,
design, and the making of things.

The Applied Research team speculates on how
technological progress will affect the way in
which people interact with products, machines and
environments, and create prototypes of the
application of these technologies. Our main areas
of focus at the moment are Robotics, Internet of
Things, and Machine Learning, in relation to
advanced manufacturing processes, but we also
expand the field of view to general societal
issues like climate change, sea-level rise, and the future of work.

We work out of the incredible creative workshop
facility at <http://www.autodesk.com/pier-9>Pier
9 in San Francisco, with a
<http://www.fastcompany.com/3047927/exclusive-inside-autodesks-robotics-lab-of-the-future>new
lab equipped with a variety of industrial robot
arms, a motion capture system, drones, boats, an
underwater ROV, a kick-ass A/V system, and a
beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay.

We're looking for a roboticist who is
particularly interested in exploring how people
and intelligent machines are going to work
together to get things made. Your work will be to
explore and demonstrate more intuitive approaches
to interacting with 6-axis industrial arms, and
will culminate in the production of physical
artifacts and documentation that tells the story
of the significance of the work.

About you:
- Strong software development skills, and
experience with motion planning, computer vision,
natural language interfaces, sensor and network integration
- Experience with 6-axis arms
- ROS experience is great, but also must have
experience in developing robotic systems outside of ROS.
- Experience with some or all of: fabrication,
sensors, animation, CAD/CAM, motion capture, virtual/augmented reality
- Work well in a team – mutual trust,
communication, and following through on commitments
- Are a motivated self-starter
- Can tell us about something you designed or
made that was not a class assignment
- Must be enrolled as a full-time student in an
accredited program in the United States with at
least one academic term to complete post
internship to be eligible for internship participation
